?COMPULSORY TRAINING FOR GIRLS. Should Australian girls be brought -under some system of compulsory train ing to assist them to share in the de fence of the-country in time of war? This is the query raised by the editor of "Everylady's Journal" for June, and answered by a number of lending .citizens. Summed up, the general opinion seems to be that, while it is altogether inadvisable to give giris any form of military training, it would be a -first-clafcR thing for the girls of Aus tralia if a course of domestic ecieucs .weiemadecompulsory.'

LICOLA (From a Correspondent.) During the past month there has been frtvoirtlihi rains, 2.28 point* being registered. Though late, owing to the mild weather and the warmth of the ground through absence of autumnal vaiiiB, there is a nice growth, nud stock generally are looking well, sheep in particular. The first section of road construction in tliis recently annexed territory was laid out by Mr Johnson, aliire engineer, during the end of last month, and ten ders for the work invited. I am afraid the L3000 promised the council 011 agreeiug to annex the territory will not nearly complete the road and bridge construction anticipated by that body, and the general opinion is that tbe council sbouid endeavor to induce tbe Main lloads Board to take over that portion from the top crossing to Glen cairn, which, when constructed, will be c.istly to maintain. The mail seivice has been discon tinued, and we have a very remote chance of restoring, if the Deputy Postmaster-General insists on loo...

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS. In fulfilment of tlie programme of functions arranged to celebrate the Jubilee of the llaffri Presbyterian Church, an ''At Home" was held on Thursday afternoon last at the Me -chanica' Hrtl!, Glenmaggie, 'that district forming part of the MafTa charge. The hail was arranged with t/isle, and it was evident the occasion was regarded as of more thau ordinary interest by the number of people assembled. The gathering comprised visitors" from Maf fra, Newrv, and ffeyfield, and included many members of other communions present by invitation. Glenmaggte Pi . rallied in force, an-s a few of the early pioneers-men Rnd ?women-were present who took an active part in the founding of the .cause in what was then a remote out post, some journeying from distant towns to participate in a pleasaut re union with former pastors and friends.

GLENMAGGIE. (From our own Correspondent) During the week past a mission was conducted by the Rev Father Hogan in the Catholic Church, and was re markable for the manner in which the people attended. Work of all kinds w»s laid aside for the time being, and an onlooker would have been struck by the absurdity of the well-known ex pression " Why don't meu attend church 1" For here, though the services were held at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and 7 p.m. every day, the church was nearly tilled each service, and at times ,waB crowded, particularly at 11 a.m. on Sunday, when visitors were present from .Newry, Cowwarr and Heytield. It was pleasing to notice that many who kneel at different altars attended the evening services, which gave them an opportunity of hearing what Catho lics do believe. The weather is keeping exception ally dry for this time of the year, and not much is b^ing done in the way of cultivation as the ground is too hard. On the milk farms the supply is rapidly decreasing, and an in...

" SCOTCH !" Scotchmen »re noted for their canni ness, unci a story told by a certain commercial traveller shows that the mi'n beyond the Tweed are still worthily upholding their reputation. The traveller in question was asked by a prospective buyer tc subscribe to the prizs fund for the local golf tournament He'parted with five shillings, and being interested iu »olf he remarked that he would like to be informed of the date of die tournament so that he could look out for the result. "Oh." Siiid the customer, picking up the money and placing it securely in his pocket, "ye needna dae that. The tournament was held lai-.t Saturday." This 'was rather a staggerer to the iatest contributor to the prize fund, but he teiaiued curiosity enough to in quire who haii proved the happy win ner. The guileless solicitor for sub scriptions was quite undaunted, how ever. "The winner," he said coyly, "Oh, just masei'."

THE DOUBLE DISSOLUTION. WILL IT TAKE PLACE? Some members of the Federal Par liament are discussing what they rpgard us tlie possibility of avoiding the double dissolution granted by the Govevnor General by holding tip the Supply Bill in the Senate. As the granting of the request carried with it a most import ant condition, namely, that the double dissolution should not take place until supply had been obtained, members are anxious to learn what the exact terms were. Opposition Senators point out that, as the Labor party has ii majority of 22 in the Seuate, it can hold up supply as long as it desires. The words used by his Excellency, tlioy st-ite, might have a very important bearing on the whola political situation. In that cnse the Opposition would io >k forward to tli9 resignation of the Cook Ministry. This would be followed by the Governor-General sending for Jlr Fisher. He would nob be able to curry on in the House of ftepri-Ktiulitivi-s, but that House, "having already pr.sx...
